Lock It Up

Your stock just skyrocketed, Andje, for crossing Hannelore and Antimony. <3

Skip a bit, Brother Jeph

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

John Ridley

He's looking to find the icebergs and the reefs nearby. Trust me on that one...

ok.. alright... I'm genuinely coming around. I really didn't find the idea of Faye being actually attracted to Bubbles to be believable at first. But now, none of Fayes responses here seem out of character; she's slowly fallen in like with bubs. I even like the idea of them just being Ernie and Bert for a while;l dating and sex aren't as important as companionship when going through hardship and assaulting new horizons. I have a feeling this is as much progress as we are going to get for now. the story will veer away to another character pair; probably fucking marigold. If we are lucky its a hannelore adventure arc! She joins the One Piece crew and makes Monkey D Luffy the pirate king in a unique crossover arc! Then she joins Anny and Kat in Gunnerkrig Court and wins Station a soul in exchange for some unique arcane information about coyote. "Scene cuts to Hannelore, Station, Jones and Coyote playing poker... Robot is dealing and Shadow is serving drinks."

Andje Lewkowicz-Lalonde

So I take it that I'm the only person who interpreted Faye's last panel glance toward the door as ever so slightly sly, as in "We should lock up so that no one can accidentally interrupt us if the conversation continues down this path"?

Marc Kevin Hall

Quality trolling Jeph, beautiful work :)

MikeT

I'm guessing that this will be the last strip of this arc. It seems a good place to stop (although I thought that about Friday's strip so YMMV is definitely a rule here).

Ben Russell-Gough

Jeph is so good at tormenting us shippers...

Heh, maybe Emily’s sock will be found on Faye’s doorknob!

Andrew

In my head Bubbles has a voice squarely in the middle of the alto register, although I couldn't give you a comparison from our reality (e.g. "She sounds like Lauren Bacall").

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggg! Torture, this is!

Ian Wolfe

lol

Daryl Sawyer

*squees*

Cole Blackblood

I wonder (fables aside for a moment) if faye could do a sufficiently good impression of bubbles that she gets a square balloon?

David Howe

i always forget that the AIs have more robot-like voices, even though it's obvious given their speech bubbles

Her upper left arm is sharply cocked backwards, leaving the lower arm parallel to the floor and her left hand on her left hip. Because of the lighting angle, most of her left arm is in shadow. Because of the perspective angle, her left hand looks weird as it's basically head-on with the wrist hidden from our view.

Ben Russell-Gough

Bubbles' arm looks a bit strange in panel 2? I can't even perspective. (sorry for interrupting, you can all go back to your shipping nao)

Now I will look forward to about a month of strips focusing on other characters (main plot: Will Emily find her lost sock?). After that, a casual shot of Bubbles and Faye making out in the background, and a bit later she will talk to Marten and make an offhand remark about how they got together last week. We will never be told the details.

Bagge

That second to last panel! So freaking cute.

Will Weaver

Take panel four, print it out at life-size, wallpaper my house with it.

Diptych

So much foreplay.

Gillian Brown

*fweeeeeeee*

Leak

so tease, much cute

Willinwoods

Yeah, I'm guessing that Claire will get involved eventually. Probably when Faye tells her that they need to find the person Bubbles is crushing on because Bubble deserves to be happy.

Ben Russell-Gough

Oh merciful heaven! How long can Faye maintain this level of obliviousness? Those two are so cute and in love and they're unwilling (Bubbles) or too unaware (Faye) to do anything!

Ben Russell-Gough

I think we're like three Faye blushes deep by this point, but this might be the reddest.

Diptych

First time we've seen Faye blush so that's some progress.

Brent Catherman

OUR SHIIIIIIIIP!!!!

Unanimous D

Either that or just Claire Ex Machina this thing and get to the awkward happiness right quick.

They need a third party who is aware of the situation, possibly Marten, to casually suggest that, in order to keep people from trying to fix them up with "other people", they use each other as a relationship "beard". They can tell anybody trying to matchmake that they are in a sufficiently satisfying arrangement with the other. This has the double benefit of being true and vague enough that if they decide to "adjust" the arrangement they can do so without changing the statement. Anyone asking for details can be told to bugger off because it's none of their business.

Czarzhan

Yeah, Faye got self-conscious and pulled back, but even then she STILL has her hand on Bubbles' arm. They gonna smooch, just you wait

Fart Captor

Nyyyyyyahhhhh it's so close to happening.... So close

Kyle Jenkins

OH COME ON

Magic Chopstick Games

Great, now I'm worried someone's gonna say "The doctor is in", referring to Evie :)

Andrew

I mean, if they never get any closer than this, I'm okay with platonic shy cuddle-friends. They even sleep in the same room as each other! BEST PROTECTIVE PUNCH-FWBs!

TMN

Oh god, so many feels.

Geo (Overand)

And I thought I had a great last name! Awesome, Mr. Boner

Andy Sleeper

The S.S. Faybles is fully crewed and provisioned. Just waiting for Capt. Jacques to issue orders to set sail.

Populuxe

I understand where you're coming from, but I really just want to be happy and enjoy this.

Alcaria Swain

Better not take as long as it took Roomie and Lillian to realize it over at GoGetaRoomie. I don't have that kinda time.

Dahlia Rose Israel

Nope, sorry, nothing to ship here. Move along, move along.

BobC

JEPH. If you pull a Lucy and take the football away at the last second I'm going to write *really* bad #Faybles fanfic and spread it all over the internet... and sign your name to it. Totally gonna do it. Yup. Definitely. Totally.

Celine Chamberlin

Totally dig this where this story is going, but, here comes the Faye on Bubbles rule 34 garbage.

Clearly, these two ain't seeing it unless one of them takes out a full page ad on the front page of a daily newspaper. <a href="http://danarchy.youfailit.net/Spiderman/spidey15.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://danarchy.youfailit.net/Spiderman/spidey15.jpg</a> Well, that or until Claire gets wind of things. :)

K. D. Bryan

Actually, I'm against Faye and Bubs getting together. Romance is not the only way to have a close and rewarding relationship with another sentient life form... and sexy times is not the only way to escalate intimacy. I would personally prefer the variety of seeing how their relationship evolves (both as emotional support and business partners) WITHOUT throwing the standard and somewhat predictable "oh we're dating now" into the mix.

Haha so already a cute couple

Kyle Major

I guess this reinforces for me that they both somewhat realise they're already in a relationship, but it might take some time figuring it out. Till then Faye is probably going to be taking a few cold showers, and Bubs might FWEE a bit.

Andrew

That didn't come out as I intended ...

Andy Sleeper

just fucking do it already if we could post gifs i would post the "get on with it" gif from monty python

&lt;emoji eyes="" for="" hearts="" with=""&gt;&lt;/emoji&gt;

Andy Sleeper

Okay now your just fucking with us.

Scott Vogel

How I imagine Jeph's to-do list: Sun: Canada stuff Mon: Troll shippers Tue: " " Wed: " " Thu: " " Fri: Fart Joke Sat: Music stuff

Gary Walker

Oh please. It'll take at least a month after either one of them come to terms with it that they'll actually get around to it.

Buck Caldwell

GODDAMMIT JEPH

Jeph, why do you hate us

Asher Rose Fox

OH MY GOD. Faye you are SO gay for her! Recognize that already!

Dahlia Rose Israel

I swear, if we get to Friday and they still haven't kissed...

Alex Mullenix

Like I am glad they are buds and enjoying it. But I am also so so so so made at them. LOOK AT PANEL FOUR IT SHOULD BE FRAMED HOW ARE YOU TWO NOT DATING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Stoodmuffin
